I would appreciate a patch for RPM building after 0.99.4, but the tentative solution for 0.99.4 (and current "master" branch since last night) is to ship the problematic program as part of the sources under "contrib" status, but not install nor include in the resulting binary package.

The dependency list for the RPM built from the tip of "rc" branch now reads like this (thanks Chris for teaching me how to get this information). This will hopefully be the one that becomes the official 0.99.4.
